and here comes the throw , and what a throw!
he’s gonna slide in head first , here he comes , he’s out!
no , wait , safe – – safe at second base , this kid really
makes things happen out there .
batter steps up to the plate , here’s the pitch – –
he’s going , and what a jump he’s got , he’s trying
for third , here’s the throw , it’s in the dirt – –
safe at third! holy cow , stolen base!
he’s taking a pretty big lead out there , almost
daring him to try and pick him off . the pitcher
glance over , winds up , and it’s bunted , bunted
down the third base line , the suicide squeeze in on!
here he comes , squeeze play , it’s gonna be close ,
here’s the throw , there’s the play at the plate ,
holy cow , i think he’s gonna make it!
